Exotic Blooms with Stunning Presence
Zahir Poppy (Papaver somniferum) is a stunning annual flower renowned for its vibrant blooms and graceful presence in the garden. Its delicate petals, which range from soft pastels to rich, bold hues, create an eye-catching display that adds charm to flower beds, borders, and wildflower gardens. Each plant features tall, slender stems and unique seed pods, offering visual interest even after the blooms have faded.
Easy to cultivate, Zahir Poppy thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring minimal care once established. Sow seeds directly in early spring or late fall for a spectacular summer display. The plants are highly adaptable and tolerate a variety of conditions, making them a favorite among gardeners of all experience levels. The self-seeding nature of this poppy ensures its enduring presence in your garden year after year.
In addition to its ornamental beauty, Zahir Poppy is traditionally valued for its seed pods, which are often dried for crafting or used in floral arrangements. The seeds themselves are edible and can be harvested for culinary use, adding a nutty flavor to baked goods and dishes. With its striking flowers, ease of cultivation, and versatility, Zahir Poppy is a delightful and rewarding addition to any garden.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: Prefers full sun and highly nitrogenous, fast-draining soil with neutral pH. Sow seeds on fast-draining soil in fall or very early spring. Plan planting so poppies germinate and grow during cool, moist weather, and flower and set seed during hot, dry weather.
Planting & Growing: In Zones 7 to 10, generally fall-sown; in colder zones, spring-sown. Spread seeds on fast-draining soil in fall or very early spring. It may take some years of experimentation to determine the best planting times in various temperate zones
Harvesting & Storage: After flowering, plants produce giant pods. Harvest seeds when pods are fully mature and dry. Store seeds in a cool, dry place for future planting or culinary use.
